Spelling errors and other
grammatical errors convey a wrong impression to the reader and might decrease
your chances in the competition, so please read and re-read your resume once,
twice or thrice and make sure that it is free from

mistakes. You cannot discover your own mistakes, so please
go to a friend, family member or anyone who is close to you and get it
corrected.

Keywords are the key:

Please make sure that you
include keywords matching the required job profile, as a matter of fact
keywords tend to draw the attention of the reader in the limited time that he
goes through your resume. So please make sure they are used wherever relevant.

Updating Resume:

Please try to update your resume
because one resume for all applications doesn’t work with job search and resume
building, it may save your time but doesn't help your cause, try to make some
small changes to the varied job profiles that you intend to apply and know the
requirements of the job before you prepare your resume.

Relevant Information:

Please try to stick to the job
profile and what it expects before mentioning your work experience, do not
include large paragraphs detailing everything you did, make sure you highlight
those things which you feel suits the intended job because including unnecessary
details may actually cover-up the high lights of your career.

Mismatch:

The summary of qualifications you mentioned
in the career objective should not mismatch the desired job you are applying
for, it's better to omit them instead of writing something which is totally
irrelevant to the relevant job.

Detailing:

Just alone mentioning your duties and
responsibilities and not speaking about your role in those duties does not come
across as a good resume.

Striking statements:

Try to describe your job role
and your capabilities with respect to the intended job and how your strengths
fit in there, this can lead to a good impression, otherwise your resume is lost
into the bundles of other resumes.

Stressing too much:

Don't try to give an impression
to the reader that you are saying too much about your achievements by stressing
too much on them.

Highlighting:

Try to highlight the awards if any genuinely
and not over highlighting.
